+# Why I Didn't Answer Your Email
+
+![An email appears! Aww, man. Will I think differently after reading it? If
+yes, then read immediately. If no, then will I act differently after reading
+it? If yes, then read immediately. If no, then is it from someone funny? If
+yes, then read immediately. If no, UNREAD FOREVER.](/media/email/flowchart)
+
+I get a lot of email, usually whenever I'm in [the middle of something
+thought-intensive](http://blog.ninlabs.com/2013/01/programmer-interrupted/).
+If I didn't answer yours, it's probably not personal: I probably glanced at
+the subject line and the sender and mentally put it on the "later" pile
+instead of the "now" pile. That pile is, effectively, a black hole.
+
+If it was actually important that I read and respond to your email, and I
+couldn't tell that from the subject, what the hell is wrong with your writing?
+If you can live without my reply, well, you're smart: work something out
+without me. I'll probably think it's cool.
